This is my yappy place. Sometimes I share my workshop experiences in jewelry-making; sometimes I talk about other things that interest me. I have created tabs along the top of my blog (next to the word home, below this msg) so you can select certain categories if you like.

Art Jewelry Editors Interview Which Leads to Lalique Jewelry

Not sure how much I’ll be online the rest of the month.Have the annual garage sale Friday and
Saturday and then it’s off to Cancun for a couple weeks.

Most of you know I’m in the Etsy team called “Etsy Metal”, a
juried group of professional metalsmiths who sell their work on Etsy.Anyway, the latest buzz (other than our
awesome 20% off during October anniversary sale) is an interview by Brigette
Martin of the editors of Art Jewelry Magazine (one of only 3 magazines I
subscribe to).

The editors actually mention Etsy Metal.Whoohoo!When asked where they look for ideas and inspiration online, one of the
responses was “we like the etsy metal group a lot”.Read the whole interview here.

And with a smidge of serendipity to top it off, I was
reading some online info about Brigette Martin and notice that in one photo (of
the gallery she owns, I think), there is a picture in the background of a
stunning art nouveau necklace that I clipped from a magazine several years
ago.It’s one of my all time
favorites.I used to think it was a Lucien Gaillard but later found out it’s actually Rene
Lalique.
